Gone Before the Morning

Lyrics

[Verse]
In the quiet of the dawn, I wake to a hollow sound,
His laughter in the wind, but he's nowhere to be found.
Boots by the back door, untouched and still,
Memories of my boy linger on this hill.

[Verse 2]
Farmhouse whispers secrets, of days that won't return,
His laughter and his light, a mother's heart does yearn.
Fields he used to wander, now silent and forlorn,
Every step I take, I feel his presence worn.

[Chorus]
Gone before the morning, taken with the night,
Left us in the shadows, chasing dying light.
A mother's tears keep falling, like rain on thirsty ground,
In every broken heartbeat, his name is whispered round.

[Verse 3]
Sunsets paint the skyline with hues of his old dreams,
But dreams can't bring him back, despite the endless schemes.
Time's a heavy burden when love is lost this way,
Each second drags on slowly, in the arms of yesterday.

[Verse 4]
Rocking chair on the front porch, where he used to sit,
Empty now and lonesome, where stories would be knit.
I call out in the twilight, to hear his voice once more,
But the echoes fade to silence, like waves on a distant shore.

[Chorus]
Gone before the morning, taken with the night,
Left us in the shadows, chasing dying light.
A mother's tears keep falling, like rain on thirsty ground,
In every broken heartbeat, his name is whispered round.
